British pie week

[loulou]

I have read articles telling people they shouldn't shop at Primark because the clothes are made by children being paid 50p a day, then i read we shouldn't buy clothes fom M&S and Next for the same reasons.  I imagine all clothes shops are getting their clothes made cheaply overseas so should we all stop buying clothes.

Well, thats peoples choice. If they want to continue contributing to world problems and complain about it, they only have to look in the mirror to see where the blame lies.

Like I said, people here can read that and make an informed choice, most people I know that are told this are often quite shocked and it does change the way they spend in places like M&S.

[loulou]

I never complain about world problems so I suppose I can feel happy shopping where i like.

[oldspice]

Anyone who knows me knows I would never willingly contribute to oppression of any sort. i don't want to get dragged into a debate about Israel v Palestine as there is fault on both sides, but if my sympathies lay anywhere it's with the Palestine.

[loulou]

I agree with oldspice and I sympathise with the poor people of Palestine. The question now is do I have to think about them when I'm eating my pie?

[netbuddy]

No, just enjoy it.

But next time... Try your local pie shop or bakers that sell pies. Locally made, supports the local traders who I doubt contribute to terror regimes around the world.

I keep trying to get my mam to bake. She makes the best cheese and onion pie.

What about a Scotch pie?

[loulou]

A Scotch pie is a small, double-crust meat pie filled with minced mutton or other meat. It may also be known as a shell pie or a mince pie (although the latter term is ambiguous) to differentiate it from other varieties of savoury pie, such as the steak pie, steak-and-kidney pie, steak-and-tattie (potato) pie, and so forth. The Scotch pie is believed to originate in Scotland, where it is often known simply as a pie but can be found in other parts of the United Kingdom. They are often sold alongside other types of hot food in football grounds, traditionally accompanied by a drink of Bovril, resulting in the occasional reference to football pies.

I like them cold with the grease having solidified on the top. Lovely!

[loulou]

Maybe you can have one when it is Scottish pie week.

3.1415926535897932384626433832795 = Pi = Pie... A bit of a play on maths that one, sorry.

[paulham]

You have to recite Pi to 700 decimal points before she gets it.
